How Does Household Registration Segmentation Affect the Volunteering Behaviour of Urban Community Residents?——Empirical Analysis Based on CSS2021 Survey Data
The phenomenon of household registration segmentation under high-speed urbanisation has changed the interaction patterns among social members and profoundly affected the voluntary behaviour of urban community residents.Using data from the Chinese Social Survey 2021,the impact of the two dimensions of household registration segmentation-household registration identity and household registration segregation-on the volunteering behaviour of residents in urban communities,as well as the mediating role of household registration integration,are examined.It is found that household registration segmentation affects residents'volunteering behaviour more through household registration segregation than through household registration identity;the heterogeneity index and the isolation index,which are measures of household registration segregation,positively affect volunteering behaviour,while the dissimilarity index negatively affects volunteering behaviour;the effect of the isolation index on volunteering behaviour varies according to differences in the individual's household registration identity;the mediating effect of household registration integration is confirmed,which partially mitigates the negative effect of the dissimilarity index on volunteering behaviour and partially counteracts the facilitating effect of the isolation index on volunteering behaviour.
